Default bubble quiz

I suppose most of the political geeks on this forum are probably aware of the book "Coming Apart"; I haven't read it yet, but I did find a neat excerpt of it online that contains the 'Bubble Quiz'.

Basically, the quiz is a fun exercise to see where you came from and where you are currently situated in America. The questions are, of themselves, pretty funny, as are the statistical insights.

If you're curious, I got a 59, so: "a lifelong resident of a working-class neighborhood with average television and moviegoing habits". Which is mostly accurate; I don't watch TV or popular movies much and I avoid chain restaurants (excepting fast food).... but, I've spent so much time in rural areas I think it's inevitable my score would have been high.
